Alert for Lifescan Meter Users: Certain Blood Glucose Test Strips Reporting False Results
GenStrip Blood Glucose Test Strips, which are advertised for use with the LifeScan OneTouch family of glucose meters, may report false results. Find out...
Gestational Diabetes Drug Glyburide Leads to Higher Risk, Adverse Affects For Newborns
Among newborns whose mothers were treated with a specific drug used to treat gestational diabetes, there was a higher risk of neonatal intensive care...
Study: Many Older Adults May Be Overtreated for Diabetes
A substantial proportion of older adults may be overtreated for diabetes because insulin and sulfonylureas can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Type 1 Diabetics’ Blood Sugar Defense Mechanisms Restored After Islet Cell Transplantation
Type 1 diabetics who have developed low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) as a complication of insulin treatments over time are able to regain normal internal recognition of the condition after receiving pancreatic islet cell transplantation.
Artificial Pancreas Successfully Controls Blood Sugar More Than 24 Hours
An artificial pancreas system that closely mimics the body's blood sugar control mechanism was able to maintain near-normal glucose levels without causing hypoglycemia in a small group of patients.
Regular CGM Use Increases Diabetes Control for All Age Groups
Studies link improvements in diabetes control to frequency of use and demonstrate continued improvements 12 months after use, with remarkably low occurence of severe hypoglycemia.
New Study Demonstrates Glucose Device Rapidly Alleviates Major Symptom of Type 1 Diabetes in...
Hypoglycemia is difficult to treat, particularly in children younger than five years of age, because of difficulties in administering the correct glucose dose as well as patient compliance. Researchers presented data that demonstrated how a new approach that could change the way this disorder is managed in millions of pediatric diabetes patients worldwide.
Long-Acting Insulin: Safer, Slightly Tighter Glucose Control in Type 1 Diabetes
A review of studies reveals that the newer, long-acting insulin medications offer only a slight benefit over NPH in terms of blood glucose control in type 1 diabetes. Researchers did see a clear benefit of long-acting insulin in reducing the risk for hypoglycemia, particularly at night.
Experimental Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes Patients Shows Promise
New research monitoring the effects of Islet cell transplantation resulted in near-normal metabolic control and decreased hypoglycemia.
Physical Activity Linked to Improved Glucose Control in Children With Type 1 Diabetes
Children with type 1 diabetes who exercise regularly may have improved blood glucose levels compared with those who do not, and regular physical activity does not appear to increase the risk of severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels).
Low Blood Glucose Levels May Complicate Gastric Bypass Surgery
Physicians monitoring patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery should be on the alert for a new, potentially dangerous hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) complication.
